For
instance, a character in the novel claims that man's inherent sense of
insecurity predisposes the convention nuclear disarmament attempts to
failure. He proposes instead a concept called Nuclear Escrow, wherein
participating nuclear armed nations in Asia can remove their weapons
from the launch pads and place them in a electronically monitored Escrow
zone.
You learn about supercomputers as the Canadian
scientist regales
his love interest by constructing a supercomputer to run powerful
virtual reality
teaching units for her special education students.
Most importantly, the ancient Indian paradigm
of the Dance of Shiva
is interpreted as an advocate of the power of forgiveness that
can be directed to combat terrorism.
